Whatever activity you decide to focus on, I highly recommend hiring a coach/trainer. Getting somebody else to make your plans significantly lowers the mental energy required to do the activity, and the feeling of expectation from them creates accountability you may not be able to replicate on your own. Mentally reframing the cost from “that’s a luxury / it’s too expensive” to “that’s a small price to pay for radically improved health” helped me overcome my initial hesitation. A few hundred dollars a month on coaching can make the difference between success and failure for many people.

At the end of the day of programming, the last thing I want to do is try to put together a workout plan. My trainer puts that on autopilot for me and I just have to commit to doing whatever they say.
